What are the symptoms of alcohol-related dementia?
Alcohol-related dementia shares symptoms with other dementias. At first, you might notice signs like memory loss, everyday tasks feeling harder than usual or trouble concentrating.
Alcohol-related dementia can affect your:
- Memory. You might not remember facts, names or faces as well as you used to. This can affect your ability to recall recent events (short-term memory) or things that happened a long time ago (long-term memory).
- Reasoning. You might have a hard time processing information or deciding what to do next. It can be hard to handle complex tasks like following a recipe.
- Language. You might say or use the wrong word or communicate less than you used to.
- Behavior and personality. You may experience mood swings, including being more aggressive than usual. You might feel agitation, paranoia or have hallucinations.
- Spatial understanding. You may have a hard time understanding how close objects around you are from your body. This can make it hard to walk or make you feel less coordinated than usual. You may bump into furniture or struggle to do delicate hand motions like tying your shoes.
